The Brooklyn Paper writes of the frustration coming from residents of St. John’s Place now banned from their backyards. A wall being removed at the Berkeley Carroll School was severely damaged by the tornado and is now in danger of collapse, so the city ruled the surrounding backyards off-limits. The removal is part of the school expansion that nearby neighbors have already protested. One resident worried the site wasn’t safe to begin with, while the school counters that the damage was the unexpected result of the freak tornado. At least it’s about to be winter, right?
